During the last two days of the PyCon 2009 sprints at the start of this month, I worked on creating a simple web application for the repoze.bfg web framework site. The idea was to have a home page, links to existing Sphinx documentation (which is abundant and up to date), a paste bin and an easy way to add simple tutorials.
I’m no web designer, so I went to free-css.com and grabbed a theme by Robobuilder which appealed to me. I modified the theme a bit and made a very rough application using BFG itself. Chris McDonough took it from there and added search, authentication and Trac integration. Jim Penny contributed a logo and helped out with CSS adjustments.
We are happy enough with the result to call it the “official” BFG web site. One of its goals is to differentiate BFG from the main Repoze project, which has the objective of making Zope and related technologies play nice with WSGI. While BFG uses Zope technologies, it doesn’t require users to do it and doesn’t depend on the many Zope packages available. If you are into Python web application development, you should try it. It’s very simple to get started, it’s well documented and tested. Oh, and it’s also fast. Please visit the web site to find out more.
